Sources – Saints are expected to hire the Eagles’ Kellen Moore as head coach

Philadelphia Eagles Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore is expected to become New Orleans Saints’ head coach, with the exception of unexpected developments, League told ESPN.

Moore has been the top candidate for the unemployed Saint’s job since completing a few interviews with New Orleans last month.

The saints make sure they do everything about the book not to break any rules and risk potential sanctions. New Orleans learned from the lesson of Arizona Cardinals, who were punished for having manipulated with then the defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, whom they eventually hired as their head coach.

Arizona and Philadelphia ultimately agreed on a draft compensation sentence as a result of a phone call between Gannon and the Cardinals that took place for a period without contact before the Super Bowl LVII.

The saints, with their history of being in the NFL’s cross hair, do not want to bend or break any rules and will therefore wait until after the Super Bowl Lix on Sunday before working to end an appointment with Moore, according to sources. The pages are not expected to have any challenges to get an appointment, the sources say.

Moore is expected to have his wages more than doubled and possibly tripled, and few would be willing to surrender such an opportunity to become one of the NFL’s 32 head coach.

Moore privately has told people that he is interested in and wants the holy jobs, according to sources, and the saints want him, and that is why an appointment is expected to be done when the pages can meet again after the Super Bowl Lix, preventing an unexpected collapse in contract negotiations.

Although he refused to elaborate earlier this week, Moore journalists told Monday that he had a “fantastic” experience meeting with Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis and other team officials in Philadelphia last week.

Moore has no previous main training experience in the NFL, but has been successful as a playcaller and monitored an Eagles attack that ranked eighth in the NFL in total offense (367.2 yards per match) this season, including the second in Rushing (179.3 YARDS PR.

The saints are the last NFL team with a current main coach opening. They fired Dennis Allen during the season, where the special teams coach Darren Rizzi filled out on a temporary basis.

Commanders the offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury chose not to pursue the sacred jobs, and Bills the offensive coordinator Joe Brady chose to stay in Buffalo instead of pursuing another interview with New Orleans. A third candidate, Aaron Glenn, almost interviewed with the saints, but was ultimately hired as the head coach of Jets.

The saints also interviewed dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka several times, and they also showed interest in Mike McCarthy before choosing to focus on the 2026 coaching cycle instead. Rizzi also interviewed for the job.
